Choosing of Bishops By the A.M.E. Church
Review of the Episcopal Material From Which Selections Will Be Made
Bishops' Council Held Recently in New York Brings into Consideration Merits Possessed By Noted Churchmen
(By HOWARD D. GREGG)
Professor at Edward Waters College.
The Metropolitan District experienced much difficulty in reading itself to normal conditions after the close of the seventieth mid-summer session of the A. M. E. Bishops' Council held in Bethel Church, New York City, June 18-23, 1922. For days crowds stood awe struck watching noted bishops as they entered private council rooms to discuss matters that vitally concerned the church.
The Metropolitan District experienced much difficulty in readjusting itself to normal conditions after the close of the seventieth mid-summer session of the A. M. E. Bishops' Council held in Bethel Church, New York City, June 18-23, 1922. For days crowds stood awake struck watching noted bishops as they entered private council rooms to discuss matters that vitally concerned the church.
While bishops met in exclusive and semi-private place, the "Lower House," or the A. M. E. Connectional Council, presided over by the Rev. H. Y. Tookes, entered in the church and the doors were open to the public. This made it make up of the most noted mines in the connection and it is free and open to them that they are not simply the men who decade the bishops.

For Episcopal Honor.
The church among other things, caused many sacred churches to be dismayed for Layman honors. Among the minister thousand were R. A. Grant John A. Grege R. H. Singleton, S. L. Green M. W. Thornton and a host of others.
Dr. Grant of Florida has the unique distinction of being the only clergy from the state. It is allowed that Florida is one of the states not represented on the bench of bishops. This skepticism exists in spite of the fact that it is one of the most loyal and claims to be the largest Methodist state in the Conference, having six annual conferences, six hundred A. M. E. ministers, between fifty and eighty-five thousand Methodists, and sends more than one of the largest churches in the conference. He is at present the able preacher elder of the South Jacksonville treasurer of Edward Waters from delegates to the General Conference. Dr. Grant, the choice of Florida, the graduate of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta Ga., and has mastered
Seventh annual reception tendered to the Rev. James Walter Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, and Mr. Brown, by the auxiliaries of the church, was one of the most delightful events of the season.
An interesting program, featuring Mine, Lula Robinson-Jones, soprano, and George H. Jones, jer. baritone, was received with great applause, following which the guests were unherded into the room, where a generous and delicious celebration was served. This had been prepared by Mrs. C. A. Davis, who was praised in an imported black lace gown and peach assured by the president of the auxiliaries, also beautifully gowned. The table was prettily decorated with cut flowers and ferns.
Presentations were made of beautiful flowers to Mrs. Brown and a purse to Dr. Brown, containing the sum of $742.20. The following is a list of clubs and amounts of their contributions:

Washington, D. C.—The Senate Judiciary Committee on June 30 ordered a favorable report on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which passed the House some time ago. In ordering the Bill reported, however, the committee modified it to some extent.
The favorable report was ordered by a vote of eight to six. The Senators who voted for it were Dillingham, Brandegee, Cummins, Colt, Sterling, Ernst, Shortridge and Nelson, Republicans. Those who voted against it included Senators Borah, Republican, and Culbertson, Overman, Reed, Shields and Walsh, of Montana, Democratas. Senators Ashurst and Norris were not present. Senator Borah strongly contends the bill is unconstitutional.

LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1922
LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1922
Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Twelve of thirty lynchings in the United States during the first half of the year were recorded in Texas, according to a statement of the Department of Records and Research of Tuskegee Institute, issued June 30. Mississippi was second to Texas with seven lynchings, while four were reported from Georgia. Arkansas had two lynchings and one each was reported from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
The number lynchened during the period is six less than for the first half of 1921 and eighteen more than the number recorded for the first six months of 1920.
Of those lynchied two were white and twenty-eight Negroes. Eleven of those put to death were charged with attacks upon women, and nineteen were charged with other offenses. Five were burned at the stake and three were first put to death and then their bodies burned. Four of those lynchied in the year 1921 were burned at the stake and three were first put to death before their bodies were burned.
Republican Leader, 19th A. D., FirstWonFameAs "Boy Orator"
Republican Leader, 19th A. D., FirstWonFameAs "Boy Orator"
David B. Costuma, Active in Politics Since 1898, Succeeded Secretary of State Lyons as Head of Central Republican Club
During the 1900 Presidential campaign, when McKinley and Roosevelt were the Republican standard-bearers, a rossing G. O.-P. meeting was held at Seventh avenue and 125th street and the large audience was moved to a high pitch of enthusiasm by a youthful speaker who was hailed as "the boy orator." The young man to suddenly into the limelight was David B. Costuma, the present popular and energetic Republican leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District.
Mr. Costuma became actively identified with politics in 1898, but did not attract more than passing attention as a political potentiality until 1900, when advertised as "the boy orator," he made many effective speeches on behalf of McKinley and Roosevelt.
During Mr. Costuma's long and successful political career he has been important time and again to accept a choice political plum or some designation as a candidate on the Republican ticket, but he has consistently refused such honors, preferring to render service in the role of a district worker.
Mr. Costuma was right hand man to John J. Lyons in conducting the affairs of the Cen-
tral Republican Club. When Mr. Lyons was elected Secretary of State Mr. Costuma became head of the organization.
The Nineteenth Assembly District has a large enrollment of both colored and white voters and it has been the leader's policy to deal fairly with all in the matter of disengaging political patronage. The colored voters in the district have received more recognition under Mr. Costuma than during the regime of any other leader. Not only does he secure political jobs for colored men and women, but interest himself in placing them in business institutions where politics plays no part whatsoever.
Approachable at all times and ready to give a willing ear to every one. Mr. Costuma bears the reputation of being a man of his word and if he makes a promise you can depend on him keeping it.
Mr. Costuma is an interior decorator and conductor of the largest establishments of its kind in New York. In November 1898, he was quietly married and his friends in the Central Republican Club and other organizations.
WHITE MEN ATTACK 12-YEAR OLD GIRL
WHITE MEN ATTACK 12-YEAR OLD GIRL
Leaksville, N. C.—Two white men, Buck Odell and Harry Burges, are in jail at Wentworth, the county seat, charged with assault on a 12-year-old colored girl. The two men were already on suspended judgement and under heavy bond to appear at next term of Rockingham county court, for previous violation of the law.
The little colored girl had been picking blackberries in a field about a half mile from her home, to which she was returning with two pails full of berries as a result of her work. The two white men met her on the road and made insulting proposals to her. She ran, but they overtook her and forced her into the woods off from the main highway. They practically stripped her of her clothes, and in addition to assaulting her, robbed her of the two pails of berries.
These pails proved their unhung, for when the child escaped and told of her experience, she sold of the berries being taken. And the two men had been seen going home, each with a pair of berries.
They were arrested and first placed in the Spray cabbage, but hostile feeling against them among both white and colored was so great they were taken to the county jail at Wentworth for safety.
The better element of the white population is indignant over the alleged outrage and have raised a purse for the purpose of employing the best legal talent available for the prosecution of the criminals. A delegation was sent to Greenshoro to secure a competent lawyer. The colored people are awaiting the enforcement of the law, and the whites offer assurance that the men will be punished according to the law.
BUSINESS GROUPS TO BE FORMED AT LEAGUE
(Special to The New York Age)
Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Dr. Robert R. Monon, president of the National Negro Business League announced that one of the special features at the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League which is to be held at Norfolk, Va., August 16, 17, 18, would be the organization of additional affiliated groups. The bankers, the farmers, the insurance men, the editors, the undertakers and the lawyers have already been organized and are functioning most effectively this year.
Dr. Moton plans to organize the following additional groups: The retail grocers, the retail druggists, the harbor shop propriets, the real estate dealers, the shoe repairers, and the tailors. Invitations have already been extended to a number of successful business men of the race who are engaged in these several pursuits and indications are that quite a number of know new addicted groups will respond to the call for an advertisement in Morrall.
Police Brutality Is Subject of Criticism
Caustic Comment Concerning Alleged Brutal Police Methods in Handling of Prisoners in 135th Street Station House
The death of Hubert Dent, a prisoner in the 135th street police station, as a result of blackjagging at hands of three detectives, has aroused much condemnatory criticism of alleged brutalities as is said to be practiced by police in New York City against men and women under arrest.
The opinion is freely expressed that there is too much brute force used on prisoners after they have been arrested. That many of these prisoners have police records is no reason that they should be subjected to the brutalities which are alleged to be commonly practiced by the police officers, both uniformed and plain clothes men.
There has from time to time been caustic criticism of police methods, and this criticism has taken the form of protest at times. Only recently a delegation of Harlem citizens, made up voluntarily, called on Police Commissioner Erright and registered objections to the matter in which prisons were treated in the Harlem station house.

DR. MOTON RESCUES WOMAN ON BROADWAY
The New-York World of June 30 carried the following story under a two column heading which read: "JUST A BLACK MAN" SAVES WOMAN; HERO REVEALED AS TUSKEGEE HEAD. The story reads: When the lights in the Fifth Avenue towers stopped traffic at 1:15 o'clock yesterday morning pedestrians in 54th street started to rush across the avenue. A taxicab whirred around the corner, foot traffic stamped in its effort to escape and horror struck the scores who saw a woman dodge from in front of the wheels, collide with a man in the crowd and rebound directly at the car. Many turned away to avoid the sight of a fatality.
The man shot out an arm, grasped the woman and planted her feet on the sidewalk. She starmered her thanks, looked up and saw that her rescuer was a Negro. Then she was lost in the crowd. The policeman at the corner saw the act and realized that that Negro had risked his life to save the woman. He slipped the man on the shoulder and asked his name.
"Why," asked the man, "are you going to arrest me?"
"No," replied the officer, "but that was a brave act and I want to report it."
"All right, then; just say a black man did it," he said the quick answer, and the Negro was the quick answer. A reporter for The Negro got the name but me from the Negro. He followed him to a hotel; learned that this rarely modest American was Dr. Robert Russa Mott, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, successor to Booker T. Washington, heroic in figure and conduct, but in his own estimate of his service, "just a black man."

Failure of Colored Candidate for Marshalship to Land Job is Believed to Be Motive Behind Defection to Democracy
Activities of Democratic leaders in Kings County are to be seen in the recent reported alleged defection of colored Republican voters of the 5th and 17th Assembly districts, 689 Herkimerstreet, and were addressed by Tammany Leader John H.. McCooy and other prominent members of the Democratic party.
Federal Farm Loan Board Has Three Vacancies To Be Filled
Terms Expiring and Resignations Place What is Practically a Reorganization of Body in the Hands of President Harding
The Universal Club, conducted by William H. Jones, formerly a sergeant in the 369th Infantry, A. E. F., (Old 15th N. Y.), has always been a Republican organization, but reports are to the effect that disatisfaction has arisen among its members because of a belief that proper consideration has not been shown its members in the matter of political preference. The protest meeting held Monday night, June 26, was heralded by circulars carrying a heading which read:
"Do you believe that the Colored Men and Women Voters should get a square political deal?"
Interesting comment is aroused by a suspicion that the main guns of the revolters are to be trained against Senator William M. Calder, who is being charged with failure to give wholehearted support to the candidacy of George Wibecan, who recently failed of appointment as United States Marshal. Wibecan is grand exalted ruler of the Elks and Sergeant Jones is a prominent member of that Order, also, and it is thought the defeated candidate is really the influence behind the movement that seems to be taking the Universal Club and its membership from the ranks of the Republican party into the Democratic army.
At the meeting on Monday night, Democratic Leader McCormack, State Senator, Supervisor Arthur D. Davis, Borough President Edward E. Ringelmann and County Clerk William E. Kelly were among the programed speakers.
Additional interest was lent to the occasion by the announcement that the Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church, recently come to Brooklyn from Atlanta,
HIRAM GRAND LODGE, MASONS, HOLDS SESSION IN BROOKLYN.
The annual session of the Most Worshipful Hiram Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., inc. and the Queen Esther Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, was held Monday and Tuesday, June 26 adn 27, at Summer Hall, 1584 Fulton street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The grand lodge was called to order at 11 a.m. by the R. W. D. G., III C. Hyte (33). Peace, harmony and brotherly love prevailed throughout the entire session. Under the regime of the G. M. Ill. S. W. Smith (33) the jurisdiction is steadily growing. All of the subordinate lodges and chapters were well represented both by delegates and visitors. The board of directors reported progress with the building, 66 West 131st street, which is also the headquarters of the M. W. Hiram Grand Lodge, Inc.
The following officers were elected:
Grand master, Rev. S. W. Smith; (33);
R. W. D. G. Ill. C. A. Hyte (33);
S. G. warden, Ill. Nathaniel Page (32);
junior warden, Ill. R. H. McGiness (33);

Washington, D. C.-The present state of the personnel of the Federal Farm Loan Board indicates that a complete reorganization of that body is imminent.
W. S. A. Smith, one of the Republican members, is mending the end of his arm;
Lewr of South Carolina is put and Joyce of California, another Democrat, is about to resign.
Those familiar with the Farm loan situation declare that the future of the farm loan system is now up to President Harding, for upon the earlier of men appointed to fill those vacancies depends the carrying out of plans very beneficial to the farmers. The board consists of five members, one of whom is the Secretary of the Treasury. The salary is $10,000 a year.
The federal land bank have loaned the farmers eligible for loans more than $20,000,000, in every state of the United States upon paying from $50 per unit of the land and on long-term and compulsory loans. Privately owned loan agencies have been in compliance with these forms from the federal land bank and the bankers, so the authorities have the wiggle and control

Ga, was to be one of the speakers. The alleged fight that is being made on Senator Calder, is said to be made in entire disregard of the New York Senator's attitude on legislation that affects vitally the race's interest.
Friends of Mr. Calder attempted in vain to show that his record on bills carrying matters of interest to the race was entirely satisfactory and should outweigh any alleged failure to support an individual's candidacy for a good-paying job, whether that candidate was qualified or not. Especial reference was made to the support Senator Calder has given and is pledged to continue to give to the Dyer-Lyndhyn Bill, now pending before the U. U. Senate.
But it is reported that influencer operating within the club's ranks were sufficiently strong to overcome these situations and so the club has gone on record as switching over to the, Democratic ranks, with the movement said to be endorsed and approved by the Row, Dr. Proctor and, Exalted Ruler Wibecan.
Mr. McCoey, in welcoming the colored men into his party, is reported to have declared with emphasis that the Democratic party will reward them for their support and gave them a wager welcome. Mr. Dore echoed his child's sentiments and urged the colored man to be more independent in voting.
Notwithstanding this supported action by the Universal Church, evidence to the effect that the movement is not entirely unanimous. It is asserted that there is a large group of record Republicans in the 5th and 17th homily districts who declare that there is any ground for dissatisfaction regard to the attitude of Republican leaders it is their purpose to fight in the party ranks for a change of opinion.

Ku Klux Klan Has Candidate For The United States Senate
Former Congressman Henry Is Opposing Senator Culberson, a Candidate for Re-Election, and is Making His Campaign as an Avowed Member of the Invisible Empire---Klan's Political Aims
Perhaps the most remarkable and at the same time the most frank exposition of the political aims and purposes of the Ku Klux Klan is contained in the subjoined article written by Mark Sullivan, one of the best equipped political writers in the country, copyrighted and published in the New York "Evening Post" of Saturday, June 24. It concerns the candidacy of former Congressman Robert L. Henry of Texas for the United States Senate in opposition to the present incumbent, Senator Charles A. Culberson.
Sullivan gives an account of a speech delivered by Henry in the course of the primary campaign, the primary election occurring on July 18. Henry uncovers the Klan purpose, taking occasion to enumerate what he denominated as the tenets of the order. Incidentally he took occasion to hurl defiance at "any human power" which might seek to curb or restrain activities of the invisible empire. The candor displayed by Henry in this speech reveals the fact that members of the Klan have developed confidence in the strength of the order's growth and are aiming openly and aboveboard at gaining places in the highest halls of the country's administrative and executive institutions.

R. L. HENRY, EX-REPRESENTATIVE, CHAMPIONS SOCIETY AGAINST CULBERSON
Defies Senator to Legislate Klan Out of Existence—Explains Its Purposes
(By MARK SULLIVAN).
National Political Correspondent of the New York Evening Post.
Washington, D. C.—June 24.—The Texas Senatorial primary, in which the Ku Klux Klan issue has come openly and strongly to the front, occurs on the eighteenth of this month. The sitting Senator, Charles A. Culberson, is a candidate for reelection. He has come out squarely against the Ku Klux Klan. Robert L. Henry is seeking Senator Culberson's seat and is seeking it as a defender, exponent, and leader of the Ku Klux Klan. That the public outside of Texas may realize the importance which this issue has come to have in Texas, it should be added that this Ku Klux Klan candidate is a man of importance in his State. He has served twenty years in Congress and in the course of that service came to positions of high leadership both in Congress and in the national organization of the Democratic party.
Because of the interest and importance of this Senatorial contest, and because in various sections of the country the Ku Klux Klan is spreading as an organization and becoming a more frequent factor in politics, it will be useful and informative to print extracts from one of Mr. Henry's campaign speeches. It is without doubt the most frank exposition of the purposes of the Klan so far made by any public man, from the point of view of sympathetic defense and personal identification with the Klan. The following extracts do not comprise more than a fifth of the entire speech. They are detached from their context, but cover most of the more important points made in the speech:
Henry Defends Klan
"I have deliberately measured every utterance to you on this occasion. In my opinion this is the most important public address that I have ever delivered during my career, not only to me, but to you as well.
"The distinguished and able Senator from Texas, Senator Charles A. Culkerson, in a recent interview over his own signature, said that 'the Ku Klux Klan must be destroyed.' I reply to him tonight and say that the Ku Klux Klan must, and shall survive in Texas and throughout the country.
"The Honorable Cullen F. Thomas
has also said that the Ku Klux Klan
must be destroyed, 'if it isn't reformed.'
The name of God how would he re-
name it... (laughter and applause)
I hurl defiance at him and say
that it will not be destroyed nor will
have the ability to reform it. (Ap-
phrase.)
"Let's see whether it ought to be destroyed. Now, listen to me. I am not going to say a word that will have to be retracted. I want you to hear me mention, fellow citizens, and remember what I say, because this is unfortunate because the most important crisis that has ever confronted the people of Gisle State. What is the Ku Klux Klan, about which we hear so much? I am going to tell you now.
The tenets of the Christian religion
this does not mean that you must be
Christian to join the Klan, but it does
mean that you must believe that the
Christian religion is right. We are for
Christianity, I believe in Jesus Christ,
we believe in Jeans Christ. The
Thean believes in Christianity. Does
the Dalai News repudiate that tenet
the Klan?
"And the Klan believes in white supremacy, that is, that the Anglo-Saxon race shall forever be imprisoned in the Republic. Does the Dollies News report that suit?" (Land cheers and cheers.)
Thomas were going to reform its principles would be change that part of it? (Laughter and applause).
The Negro Question.
"Negro Equality". The Klan does not believe in Negro equality. There are many of us old-fashioned folks who still believe that the white man is just as good as the Negro if not a little bit better. (Aplause). Now, do these gentlemen oppose that principle of the Klan. There are citizens throughout this country who believe in social equality, some of them white, but I do not, nor do the people of Texas and this part of the country, believe in it, nor will they ever, accept such a doctrine as "Negro social equality". (Aplause).
"We believe—the Klan believes. I should say (laughter and applause)—the Klan believes in 'closer relationship between capital and labor,' and we believe that capital ought to be brought closer to labor, and that the disputes between capital and labor ought to be lessened; that something ought to be accomplished in that direction, and that the Klan will endeavor to bring about a better understanding between capital and labor. The Klan does not believe that there should be any class legislation or that the laboring man should be arrayed against the wealthy class or the money classes of this country. Both are necessary for the existence of each other, and therefore the Klan has inserted that principle among its tenets. Is there any thing wrong about that? "The Klan believes in the 'protection of pure womanhood' (applause)—and the sanctity of the home. Does the senator think the Klan ought to be destroyed because it believes in those things; and does the distinguished gentleman, Mr. Thomas, think that it ought to be reformed and that principle changed? If he does I hope and pray that I may never serve in the United States Senate at the same time. (Laughter and applause).
"Oh, think of those days after the Civil War when the dark clouds lowered over the South. Think of those days when some of these old white hair-red men that I see out there in this audience had to walk to the ballot box and cast their vote between Negro bayonets, as some of you do remember! You recall that. Do their gentlemen want the Klan destroyed because that same principle and spirit has been sanded down to their children and grandchildren?
Appeals to Women.
"You good women that I see sitting in the audience, no matter what we may have thought about issues that have gone before this campaign, no matter how we may have disagreed, think of what the Klan after the Civil War meant to the pure and good women of the South, and how much was accomplished by our fathers and our mothers, and what it meant to Texas and the other Southern States.
"Let me tell you now that the present Klan is based upon as holy and noble a purpose as was the Klan of our fathers after the Civil War. (Aphrause)."
"I will read two other principles enunciated and then pass on to the discussion of another: 'Preventing the causes of mob violence and lynching.' The purpose of the Klan is to prevent these things: 'Prevention of fire and destruction of property by lawless elements,' a fight against the I. W. W. and the Bolsheviks of this country. That is one of the principles.
"Limitation of foreign immigration." Let me say to you, my friends, that is one of the greatest principles of this organization, and the time has come when this country should rise up and say to the world: 'We are going to almost completely shut our doors against the speckled progeny of those people who are coming from the slums of European centres, and they shall not become citizens of our country.' (Applause).
"The upholding of the Constitution of the United States." That is another of the principles of the Klan. Is there any objection to that? I know it is old fashioned to mention the Constitution in some quarters. I know there are some men who believe that the Constitution ought not to be revered or obeyed, but the Klan belongs to that type of men who believe in constitutional government, who believe in obedience to the laws of this country, and they salute the majesty of our laws, and believe they ought to be respected and obeyed. Do these principles object to that part of the principles of the Klan?"
"The committee of the Klan?"
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1922.
is another cardinal principle."
"We come to the freedom of speech and of the press, and we all stand for that, as embodied in the Bill of Rights. It is necessary for the preservation and perpetuity of our institutions. Here I come to another vital and momentous principle as enunciated in their creed; they believe in the 'Separation of Church and State.' (Applause). Our forefathers came to this New World fleeing from the privilege of exercising religious freedom. They came here and founded this great Republic and wrote in our Constitution that the right to worship God according to our own conscience should forever be guaranteed. I believe in religious freedom and that the church and state should forever be separated.
"I have enumerated to you just about all the principles of the Ku Klux Klan. Candidly, is there a single one of them to which you can object, whether you are a Klansman or not? Is there an American citizen here tonight who will object to one of those principles enunciated in that creed of the Klan? If there is I would like for him to rise. (No one arose). And all those who endorse it rise. (The audience vies enmase). (Applause). That is Americanism!
The Roman Catholic Church
"Oh, you know somehow I got it in my mind, and I believe it as firmly as I believe there is a God above, that the Klu Klu Klan is a menace and an obstruction to a great religious organization in this country and is standing in their way, and I refer to the Roman Catholic Church. (Loud cheers and applause). Would the senior Senator destroy the Klan for advocating these things? Would the distinguished gentleman from Dallas destroy it for advocating these things? Would the Dallas Nexus destroy it? On which side of this controversy will they be when we draw the broad lines that must separate us in the coming contest? (Applause). "I regret they have seen proper to raise this issue but let me say that the Klan will continue to grow and these candidates of whom I speak and these great journals cannot destroy it. We hurl defiance at them tonight. (Cheers and applause)."
"The Klan is not anti-Catholic or anti-Jew, but the Catholics are anti-Klan and want us destroyed. (Applause). Yes, they are anti-Klan. I tell you, my friends of Texas, good men and good women, that if they force this conflict, when all is over the white banner of Christianity will be floating above the millions of people in this Republic and there will be a permanent and everlasting separation of church and state in the United States. (Applause). We want no union of church and state. We should not coerce the consciences of anybody. We owe allegiance only to God above and the flag of our country. (Applause). And we are not going to bow to any human power here or across the waters (cheers and applause), and acknowledged control of our thoughts and our souls.
Will Fight for Religion
"We are going to have to fight for our religion itself. We are going to have to struggle to preserve our free schools and give our children the benefit of universal education. Ah, this is a glorious state; this is a glorious country. Never a Republic in all the world like it.
"Oh, I am sorry this question has been precipitated as it has, but when the senior Senator from Texas decreed from Washington City that the Klan must be destroyed because he willed it, he was undertaking an impossible task. (Applause).
"Now, the senior Senator says. The Klan must be destroyed," and he must be sent back to the United States Senate. But the Federal Government cannot deal with that question. He wouldn't have any power to deal with it. But the Legislature of the State of Texas can be convened to suppress the Klan. I make the prediction. now—I want you to get these words exactly as I speak them—I make the prediction that the present Governor will not convene the Legislature for that purpose, and if he does they will not pass a law prohibiting the activities of the Klan (applause). I have traveled a long ways tonight. (applause.)"
A Political Phenomenon.
It is apparent from the frequent eruptions of applause that in a world which has a good many troubles, there seems to be a surprising number of folks in Texas who find this kind of talk and this kind of politics aggrievable. This speech in its complete form is widely circulated by Mr. Henry's headquarters, and forms the backbone of his campaign. For the present these extracts from ex-Congressman Henry's speeches are presented, of course, merely as the record of a political phenomenon. It goes without saying that the speech is wholly as parte. It is in a case of a leader of the Klan putting its best foot foremost, stating in the most plausible way the appeal he wants to make to certain prejudices which are widespread in some communities, putting his own interpretations on the purposes of the Klan, and omitting to say anything of the practices it has followed in various sections of the country. For what has been said by the appearing candidates and by others who reported the Klan on dangerous事 is not seen in the present article.
(Special to The New York Age).
Raleigh, N. C.—A legal battle has been raging in Raleigh, Durham and Oxford between a white deputy sheriff of Wallace, Dublin County, and a Negro attorney of Durham over the return of one John Flowers; prosperous colored farmer, formerly of Wallace, who was sought by the authorities of that place. The case has caused considerable comment on account of several features which have developed.
Flowers was arrested on Thursday, June 22, in Durham, where he and a brother had come to open a modern shoe shop in the colored Masonic Temple, by telegraphic request from the Duplin County officer. Attorney R. McCains Andrews was employed and Flowers was interviewed at the police station. The man was highly nervous on account of recent experiences he had undergone and was in mortal fear of mob violence should he be returned to Dublin County, since he had been shot at and run away from there about eighteen months ago.
TO RAISE $100,000 FOR WILBERFORCE U.
The bishops attending the A. M. E. Bishop's Council in New York last week voted to get behind the movement to raise $100,000 for Wilberforce. University, which celebrates its sixtieth anniversary next June.
The bishops will hold their semi-annual session there at that time and a big gathering is expected.
Bishop J. M. Conner is chairman of
White Man Wanted Land.
According to Flowers' story he has been importiert by a white man to sell 65 acres of valuable farm land which owes him in the town of Wallace, but he refused to sell except at a profitable figure, which was not offered. The white man then rented the land but refused year after year to pay the rent and finally Flowers sued him and received a verdict of $750 per year as rent. Flowers was then indicted on a charge of embezzlement growing out of the sale of an automobile by him to a Negro tenant of the white man, but was acquitted before a justice of the peace.
Feeling ran so high in the community that the prominent white attorney who defended Flowers and a wealthy white man who was his bondman, were both attacked after the trial and a near riot erased, during which the automobile of the bondman was partly emblished and Flowers was shot at and caused to flee for his life while, it is said, the local officers did nothing to prevent the brothal.
Governor Promises Protection
After hearing this story, following Flowers' arrest in Durham, Attorney Andrews got in touch with the Governor's office and Governor Morrison wired Chief of Police W. F. Doby of Durham to hold the prisoner until he could investigate the matter, and he further assured Attorney Andrews that the man would be simply protected. The attorney then secured a writ of habus corpus from Judge W. A. Devin of Oxford, who was found in Raleigh, alleging that Flowers was held without legal process, no warrant having been forwarded, and no bail having been fixed. The writ was made returnable before Judge Devin on July 3, permitting sufficient time for the Governor's investigation.
On Saturday, June 24, Governor Morrison declared that he was sufficiently satisfied that Flowers' fear of mob violence was, without reasonable foundation and meanwhile the deputy sheriff had arrived with a capita issued by the clerk of court of Dublin, charging Flowers with embeasurement growing out of the same automobile transaction. The Judge then, on request of the Governor, ordered the prisoner brought before him at Oxford on Saturday night for the hearing under the writ, instead of on July 3, the original date. "Flowers was remanded to the authorities of Dublin but the Judge reduced his bail from $1,650, as set by then, to $500.
Suit to Eject White Man
The case is set for July 10 at Keenansville, the county seat. It is not expected that Flowers will now suffer any bodily harm since the matter has been brought to the attention of Governor Morrison, who promises that he will receive a fair trial. However, Flowers' enemy is still in possession of the land and a suit of ejection is pending which Flowers has been compelled to bring. It is thought that the embezzlement charge has been resurrected as a further harassment to induce Flowers to give a deed to his land.
Flowers is said to be a well to do farmer, owning 110 acres of land in Pender County, in addition to the land at Wallace. He has resided in Greenville, N. C., with a brother ever since his flight from Wallace until they decided to move to Durham and open a shoe shop. Their car load of goods had just arrived in the railroad yards and they were preparing to install the same when the elder Flowers was arrested.

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS
FOR VACATION TRIPS
Advice as to health precautions of value to the summer vacationist is embodied in a series of suggestions sent out by the New York Tuberculosis Association, Inc., of 10 East 39th street, New York City. The condensed cautions are to the effect that:
1. There are two kinds of vacations—the kind that exhausts and wears, and the kind that rests and invigorates. Choose the latter.
2. See your doctor before making your choice. Vaccination against typhoid will be wise.
3. Watch carefully the source of supplies of milk and water. This is important.
4. The best vacation enables a person to build up highest possible power of resistance to assaults.
5. In respect to tuberculosis, and for the good of New York, the New York Tuberculosis Association will give helpful information, free of charge, to all who make inquiry.

THIRD DEGREE AGAIN
THE institution of the scaled third degree as a method of police strategy, to secure admission of guilt from unwilling prisoners, apparently caused another death in a station house last week. The Thirty-eighth Precinct in which three policemen have been killed by prisoners driven to desperation by brutal treatment, was the scene of this latest killing, but it was the prisoner who was beaten to death by the police.
The story given out to the papers issued that Hubert Dent, a Negro 21 years of age, who had been arrested on a robbery charge, was being fingerprinted in the 135th station station house. During this operation he seized a pistol from the baluster of Detective Redding and tried to shoot him. Redding caught Dent's arm and called for help. A half-dozen policemen rushed in and began wrestling their blackjacks on the struggling prisoner. Dent was knocked out and removed to Harlem Hospital, where he died in a short time.
The assistant district attorney who conducted an investigation, was reported as saying that no one would be prosecuted for the killing. One reporter wrote that the experience of Policeman Mora, who was shot with his own pistol, in the back room of a station, was fresh in the minds of the police, so they took no chances with Dent. They beat him to death, instead of merely disarming him and putting on handcuffs or a straight jacket, it such instruments were needed to subdue him.
There is something wrong about the police methods that drive ordinary criminals, or alleged criminals, to such a point of desperation that they give battle to the police against such odds and when applied in their power. The third degree is a dangerous weapon, which can be turned against the officers employing it as has been amply demonstrated. It fatalizes those who have to practice it, well as those subjected to its torment. No confection extorted by brutality is worth while as testimony. The prisoners part of the third degree are driven to desperation by fear and from ordinary criminals are converted into terrorers. None of the men charged with killing police officers was proved have a record as a gunman or a
finals and, it is not to be expected that the police will not necessary force in making arrests or in resisting violence. But, brutality should not be encouraged in dealing with helpless prisoners after they are arrested. Third degree methods are repugnant to the descent members of the police force and should be done away with as opposed to law and civilisation.
WHAT BUSINESS LEAGUE CAN
DO.
The approaching convention of the National Negro Business League, which will be held at Norfolk, Va., during the month of August, will furnish the opportunity for planning more practical means of multiplying business enterprises under race management and operation. Considerable stimulus has already been given through these annual meetings to the idea of business promotion. What is now needed is a feasible plan to put some of the ideas advanced into practical operation on a more extensive scale.
The natural growth of business in a new country and among a pioneer race would be the initial start in a small way in the production of necessaries, by raising staple crops and turning raw materials into articles of necessity by simple manufacturing process. The place occupied by the Negro race in the industrial field is largely as a producer of raw materials and staple crops raised from the soil. Among the staples that he raises are cotton and corn, peanuts, garden truck and live stock. As a laborer he is largely employed in the soft coal mines, the iron and steel industries and other branches. But he does but little manufacturing on his own account and his earnings from farm and mine are largely spent in building up business among those of other races.
While the manufacture of the finished products from the raw materials gathered from field and mine requires large capital and skilled labor, the distribution of these products by the retailer is not so onerous in its requirements. There is room in many communities, both North and South, for the successful operation of retail stores for the sale of shoes, clothing and furniture. With wise choice of location, small but adequate capital, some knowledge of salesmanship which should include square dealing and unfailing courtesy, there is no reason why members of the race should not succeed in this essential field of the distribution' of commodities.
an enterprise of this sort need not be started to appeal to the patronage of Negroes only. No racial barriers should be raised in seeking customers. As has been demonstrated in certain towns, in various sections, an enterprise of this sort properly conducted, will receive the patronage of the, general public. One local business league, in Gue West, as we recall it, made a feature of its work, the seeking out of suitable openings for new business, and calling the attention of promoters with capital and experience to them. This is a practical exposition of what the national body might do on a larger scale.
In the higher field of finance, such as banking and insurance, the race has made measurable strides in the past few years. Perhaps as much has been attempted in these lines as the foundation of earnings of labor and returns from other business warrant. Some of the financial institutions, as might have been expected, have met with reverses and failed to meet the hopes and promises of their promoters. But the existing banks and insurance companies appear to be doing business along cautious and conservative lines, which indicates solid growth and prosperity.
Moreover, the choice of Senator Shortridge is fortunate for us in that his heart is in this legislation. The writer had a long talk with him immediately after the adjournment of the Committee and he believes that Senator Shortridge looks forward with great satisfaction to championing this measure on the floor of the Senate. He will go into the fight with the enthusiasm and determination which are necessary for victory.
With a favorable report on the Bill the most difficult part of the work for its final enactment by the Senate has been accomplished. Of course, there will be a bitter fight in the Upper House. Senators like Watson of Georgia, Carraway of Arkansas, Heftin of Alabama and Harrison of Mississippi, you may be assured, are already preparing for the fight and these men are tar abler and far more resourceful than any of the opponents who fought the Bill in the House of Representatives. They will resort to every means possible to defeat it or block it—oratory, invective, threats, sympathy, the "duty of white men to white women," misstatements of facts, misrepresentations and defunction of the Negro, and every available parliamentary strategy.
What is needed now is the multiplication of the agencies of distribution under the control and operation of members of the race. Through this means the current spendings of labor will be so distributed as to furnish employment for others of the race, while the savings can be invested in the banks and insurance concerns. If the National Negro Business League will devise a practical plan to encourage the opening of more clothing stores, shoe shops' has stores, grocery stores and bakeries, it will start a business boom, that in its possible eventualities will mean more than all the financial schemes put on paper by the average stock promoter.
Nevertheless, the chances for any bill are better on the open floor of the Senate than in the discussion behind closed doors of a committee room. In an open fight on the floor of the Senate we can demand that our friends stand up and be counted and our enemies likewise.
A street car tragedy recently occurred in South Richmond, in which a white conductor was cut in the leg and bled to death, after striking a drunken passenger with an iron switch bar and knocking him senseless in a crowd of colored men. The lesson drawn by the Richmond Planet is stated as follows:
Another force with which friends of the Bill will have to fight will be the Democratic partisan press. The New York "World" has already led off. In its report of the action taken by the committee it headlines the article as follows:
LODGE, IN PANIC, SEEKS NEGRO VOTE WITH A TRICK BILL.
Let colored people keep off the street cars as much as possible and avoid racial friction. Times are critical now. The unthinking elements of both races are "keyed" to a high pitch. An impromptu battle would result in the killing of some white people and many colored ones. The lawless elements of both races would "run right" and then arson and murder would, follow in its wake with millions of dollars worth of property endangered as a result of the unrestrained passions of a mob. Viewing the situation from a dispassionate standpoint, H. L. Pugh was drunk, harmlessly drunk and L. H. Burleson blundered egregiously and his life has been the torrent. Selah.
This shunt taken by the "World" may be easily explained. The "World" has all along been against the Anti-Lynching Bill, and the "World" is also the bitterest newspaper enemy that Senator Lodge has in the country.
The Anti-Lynching Bill is in no sense a trick bill. It is a piece of legislation genuinely proposed to remedy a great evil. In the petition presented to the Senate some weeks ago, the prompt enactment of this Bill was urged by twenty-four governors of states, one-half the governors of the country; a large number of bishops, churchmen, editors, college presidents and eminent citizens; but more particularly to the point, this petition was signed by nineteen justices of supreme and superior courts in the various states, a judge of a United States Circuit Court, two former United States attorneys general, and a number of other learned jurists. These men would not have signed a petition urging the prompt enactment of a piece of legislation which they did not consider sound.
To cap it all, the man identified as having cut the conductor, according to the *Ionet*, was not in the crowd at the time and was given an excellent record by his employers.
The *Western Outlook*, published at Oakland, Col., says that the Marcus Garvey movement produced some acrobats, if, nothing more. It may be that trying to keep one jump ahead of the shuffled contributed to this incident.
But the "World" evidently intends to convey the impression that it is a trick Bill because the Republicans are merely going to dangle it before the eyes of colored voters until after election is over and then let it die. This pungent argument was used when the
Bill was introduced in the House of the present Congress. When the House Judiciary Committee reported it, the same set of critics said the House would never pass it. When the House passed it, these same critics said it would die in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. Now that the Senate Judiciary Committee has favorably reported the Bill they declare that the Bill will never get any further. Since these critics have been proved wrong on all their other predictions there is no reason why their present prediction should be taken as gospel.
This writer firmly believes that if the colored people, the colored organizations and the colored press can keep up the same united and intelligent effort for the passage of this Bill which they have up to now maintained, the Bill will be finally enacted and signed by the President.
Seyeral weeks ago we said that we would in a subsequent issue discuss the constitutionality of this measure, because there are even some colloqed people who are lay constitutional lawyers that are expressing doubts about the constitutionality of the measure. We hope to be able next week to take up that phase of the question.
THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA ATTACKS TUSKEGEE.
Governor Hardwick of Georgia recently made a speech before a gathering of county officers in Savannah. His speech was in the traditional spread-eagle, bombastic Southern style which went out of fashion among progressive people more than a generation ago. It, of course, lugged in the "Magna Charta," came down through the "glorious history of the Anglo-Saxon people" and then burst forth into this eulogy on the State of Georgia: "Thank God since then we have had equal justice for all. Today the judge, the officer, the President of the United States, or any man whose office calls for aid in the administration of justice who fails to administer exact justice without fear or favor brings reproach upon his people and upon his government."
After reading these words the question inevitably arises, "What is the use of taking anything in the world seriously if the Governor, of Georgia can make such statements and perhaps believe sincerely that he is expressing the truth?
Before closing his speech the Governor paid his respects to the lynching question and in so doing made an attack upon Tuskegee Institute. He questioned the "alleged accurate statistics of Tuskegee which threw an aspersion on our state with their figures on lynching." He went on to say:
"They tell us that Georgia leads in lynchings. So they do—in the figures submitted by the Tuskegee Institute. Every time a mean Negro—a lawless Negro—takes a gun and the law in his own hands, faces and defies an officer of the law, and that officer is forced to kill him in the defense of law and society's protection—this institute classes thus as another outrage in Georgia."
"As governor of your state, I am here to protest in behalf of our state against such statistics and against the figures of these so-called census takers from Washington, whose reports throw a reflection upon this state's good name."
We think the Governor of Georgia will need to protest against the Tuskegee statistics in some more effective way than by delivering a spread-eagle speech. The figures kept by Tuskegee are accurate and conservative. If anything, they underestimate the lynching evil, for whenever there is a doubtful case the Tuskegee figures omit it.
The Governor should also remember that Tuskegee does not make any original tabulation of these figures but collects them from reports as printed chiefly in the Southern newspapers.
If Governor Hardwick is really anxious to remove the "aspersion" on the State of Georgia, he cannot do it by assailing the lynching statistics of Tuskegee as already recorded. His only chance lies in seeking to change the figures which are still to be recorded.

THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL REPORTED.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary met on June 29 and after final discussion on the Dyer Anti-J Lynching Bill agreed to meet the next day and take a vote. On the next afternoon the Committee voted to report the Bill favorably to the Senate; the vote being eight to six. Senators Ashurst of Arizona and Moses of Nebraska absented themselves from the meeting and did not vote. Eight Republican members present voted to report the Bill favorably. They were Senators Dillingham, Brandegee, Colt, Sterling, Shortridge, Ernst, Cummins and Nelson. Senator Borah voted against the report with five Democrats, Culberson, Overman, Reed, Shields and Walsh.
In reporting the Bill the Senate Committee slightly amended one of the sections. This section is Section 4: In the Bill as originally passed by the House Section 4 read as follows:
Section 4. That the district court of the judicial district wherein a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage shall have jurisdiction to try and punish, in accordance with the laws of the State where the homicide is committed, those who participate therein: Provided, That it is first made to appear to such court that the officers of the State charged with the duty of prosecuting such offense under the laws of the State fail, neglect or refuse to apprehend or punish such participants, or that the jurors obtainable for service in the State court having jurisdiction of the the offense are so strongly opposed to such punishment that there is no reasonable probability that those guilty of the offense can be punished in such State court. A failure for more than thirty days after the commission of such an offense to apprehend the person guilty thereof shall be prima facie evidence of such failure, neglect, or refusal.
In the Bill as amended by the Senate Committee, the proviso of Section 4 is changed to read as follows:
"Provided that it shall be charged in the indictment that, by reason of the failure, neglect or refusal of the officers of the State charged with the duty of prosecuting such offense under the laws of the State to proceed with due diligence to apprehend and prosecute such participants, the State has denied to its citizens the equal protection of the laws. It shall not be necessary that the jurisdictional allegations herein required shall be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and it shall be sufficient that such allegations are sustained by a preponderance of the evidence."
This in no wise weakens the Bill. Several of the best lawyers who have examined believe that the Bill is strengthened by this amendment. The great fear was that the Senate Committee on the judiciary would amend the Bill so as to take the teeth out of it. The friends of the Bill were apprehensive about Section 5, the section which provides for an indemnity of $10,000 being placed upon each county in which a lynching occurs. This section was left untouched by the Committee.
The report of the Committee will be written by Senator Shortridge of California who will also lead the fight on the floor for the passage of the ill. We are extremely fortunate in having Senator Shortridge chosen to do this. Senator Shortridge is the one member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who has all along held the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill to be entirely constitutional. A number of other Republican members were in favor of the Bill and pledged their support to it but were doubtful about the constitutionality of certain of its provisions. Senator Shortridge has all along stood one hundred per cent, for the Bill.
Furthermore, Senator Shortridge is a brave fighter. In the discussions which took place in the Committee he never hesitated to meet the stock arguments of the Southern members with a frontal attack and demolish them. When Southern members of the Committee put up the subtle argument of "white man to white man," that if the Anti-Lynching Bill was enacted it would encourage crime of rape among Negroes in the South, Senator Shortridge met them with facts and statistics and hannered them into silence. He showed them what everybody ought to know, that in less than sixteen per cent. of all the lynching cases in the past thirty years has there been even a charge of rape.
JUSTICE FOR CRIMINALS.
JUSTICE FOR CRIMINALS.
The protection of society demands that those who break the laws should be adequately punished or at least put under such restraint that they may not prepare the life or property of others. How best to achieve this result has not yet been determined, despite the experiments of the best authorities on punitive methods. The consequence is that punishment for crime has wavered between savage retaliation that hardens the prisoner and weakened coiling that encourages his adoption of crime as a profession.
In the meantime there is reason to believe that a middle course may be reached that will combine punishment and restraint sufficient to protect society and at the same time teach the prisoner that crime is neither a worse nor profitable pursuit. The first step toward realizing this step is to convince the criminal that his punishment is a just one, incurred solely because he or the wronged has fellows by injuring their persons or property.
A person accused of crime is therefore entitled to a fair trial and an opportunity to present a legal defence to the charges made against him. Lawyers of high standing and character, as a rule, are not anxious to undertake the defence of professional criminals, even though the financial reward may be tempting. They frequently do it however, as a part of their duty as officers of the court, to ensure a fair trial for the accused. It was, therefore, a matter of commendation when a lawyer like Herman Hoffman undertook the defence of a friendless youth like Luther Boddy, when the latter was put on trial for his life on the charge of shooting two detectives. This lawyer's appearance in the case ensured the fact that all the evidence and all the law in favor of the defence would be ably presented. Mr. Hoffman later undertook the defence of Boddy's wife on a charge of farcery and secured an acquittal.*
Criminals should be punished by the process of law, which means that they should be fairly tried and given a chance to refute the evidence against them in the courts of justice.
KLAN ISSUE IN TEXAS
The Ku Klux Klan has become the outstanding issue in the primary contest for United States Senator in Texas, according to the national political correspondent of the New York Evening Post, Mark Sullivan. Senator Caliberton of Texas, who is a candidate for reelection, has come out squarely against the organization, saying in an interview, "the Ku Klux Klan must be destroyed." He
is opposed by Robert L. Henry, for twenty years a Representative in Congress, who seeks the Seminarian title as a defender and leader of the Klan. Mr. Henry is making campaign speeches in which he frankly exposes the cause of the Klan, though covering its inquisitive purpose with a camouflage of religious and patriotic assumptions. For instance, in defining the tenets of the Klan, he said among other things:
"The Klan believes in Christianity"
"And the Klan believes in white supremacy," that is, that the Anglo-Saxon white race shall forever be supreme in this Republic"
"The Klan does not believe in Negro equality. There are many of our old fashioned folks who still believe that the white man is just as good as the Negro if not a little better."
"The Klan believes in the protection of pure womanhood and the sanctity of the home."
There was a reference to the days when the white barred men in the audience "had to walk to the ballot box and cast their vote between Negro bayonets," followed by the assurance, "that the present Klan is based upon as holy and noble a purpose as was the Klan of our fathers after the Civil War."
Other principles enunciated by the speaker as part of the Klan program were. Preventing the causes of mob violence and lynching, limitation of foreign immigration, the upholding of the Constitution of the United States; the sovereignty of State's rights and catchword; tamilar to the vocabulary of the Southern demagogue.
The issue of Knownethism was artificially appealed to in the statement made by Mr. Henry, that "the Klan is not anti-Catholic or anti-Jew, but the Catholics are anti-Klan and want us destroyed." Candidate Henry also fired this parting shot at Senator Colbertson:
"Now, the senior Senator says, 'The Klan must be destroyed' and he must be sent back to the United States Senate. But the Federal Government cannot deal with that question. He wouldn't have any power to deal with it. But the legislature of the State of Texas can be convened to suppress the Klan. I make the prediction now. I want you to get these words exactly as I speak them—I make the prediction that the present Governor will not convene the Legislature for that purpose, and if he does they will not pass a law prohibiting the activities of the Klan."
That's a pretty bold defence of the lawmaking power from a candidate for United States Senator, in view of the fact that a Texas judge recently held that the state of Louisiana is

THE FOUNDING OF THE A. H. E.
CHURCH.
Permit me to correct an historical statement with respect to founding of the A. M. E. Church in the first place I want to I most heartily concur in word for the good work wrought by the African Methodist Episcopal Church. You say, in your letter "It was established in Philadelphia Richard Allen after he had been from work hoping with the creation of a white church." It means that we get the facts of case indeed, it was established after been barred, etc., but it was after the insult. Something happened between the time of the ment from St George's Church and 1801, when the A. M. E. Church was organized. And what happened of importance as it is a matter of history. The company of three cane's of which Allen was the stepping in this white Methodist after the insult went out themselves, erected a church and then held a meeting and decreed with which of the religious bodies they would associate. Here we have first instance of collective bargain on the part of the African American. These early African Methodists almost unanimously decreed not themselves, and their church the Protestant Episcopal Church, three conditions.
The first was that they be received as an organized body. The second that they have guaranteed to them local control of their own affairs forever. And lastly, that one of their number be licensed as a Reader of Drone Service, and if found fit, be regularly issued as their minister. That was in 1294. Their conditions were accepted by the Episcopal Church, the church received into fellowship, and a year later Abelia Jones was ordained as their minister. Allen and his followers continued with the white Methodists until 1816 when the A. M. E Church was organized. Daniel Coker of Baltimore was first elected bishop. He having declared, the next day Richard Allen was elected, and accepted. P. Josephs, Stephen Hill of Baltimore, took as active a part in the formation of the A. M. E Church as Allen or any other cleric.

NEGRO IN SOUTHERN COURTS.
Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE.
It is indeed a pleasure to me to know that I have somewhere to speak of few words, in which at least a part of our people if not all may hear of one the inequitable treatment toward the southern Negro. It is true that the who read our leading collected part learn a good bit of each week. But all that we have more to learn I want to cite a few instances which occurred in places where I happened to present, and two of these cases were court.
One was on the morning of a visit to a Negro who had murdered an uncle. I thought that I would hear the conversation to see the Negro convicted, but to see for myself the justification granted to the Negro. I knew that he would be fully justified as it seems that heaven is the only place where he will be fully justified. But before I hear the case completed, I had to room, for the reason that I personally hurt as to my feelings. The defending lawyer was getting motion from the Negro, the deliberately got up and said, "Nut up!" The Negro spoke against the senator, in a boisterous manner said again, "Nuger, did you hear say, but up!" The Negro was stating the history of his and his brother's life, after his lawyer had sent him to give the statement and it seemed to me that the lawyer who was tried to defend him was against him or he have any show, because he could avoid it, being of the other race.
The other case happened to be a oed woman who was being tried showing a white man in a case of defense. The man approached man in her own house, without attention. She cautioned him not to attack but being a Negro woman he did he could do, he placed and would be said or done. But as he himself upon her, she shot Later on he died. The girl was 19 years old. Being financially to employ counsel to defend herself, colored people in the community must fund to help defend her. The trial the came out a number of attended to hear the result, and midst of the trial the woman was tacked horizontally by the solderer called her, in presence of attendant law officials, "nigger wench". The lawyer wasn't like the one detaining the man. This lawyer called the man down, as he knew the law
I also want to state this. We have a few Negroes who call themselves leaders who tried to influence others, by helping this poor innocent girl. What could we call them? impress those who readily attend us, we must be careful because the just place we have is Heaven. I say that we must not altogether with one, but watch all. We have some too, who are traitors. Remember the case of John Brown and who betrayed him, and you will always be careful when where and to whom you must "JUSTICE WANTED."
Desecration of "Deep River"
sacrilege is an unusual term in that there is seldom for its application. But now it is being freely used by musicians with reference to a recent composition by a in which the theme of that fine old Negro Spiritual has been transmitted into a modern production the marks of, and capable of being used with slight as the jazziest of jazz numbers. may be one's opinion as to taste, good or bad, exthe up-to-the-minute composer of music who finds it take classic melodies from works of the great masform them into syncopated numbers for use in dance and on the variety stage, there is little doubt that the themes which had their inspiration and originaheart throbs of a sorrelly distressed people and which their grief and despair, hope and aspiration, Negro showing slight respect of consideration for musical
River" is one of the most powerfully pathetic of the prose which sprung from the hearts of our ancestors, which expressed intense belief in and hope for future alleviation of pain, sorrow and suffering. It grates on the finer hearts of those who have a reverent love and respect for race and tradition when the modern dance orchestra, with its instruments producing a conglomerate mixture of dissonance with a swing and a lilt appealing only to the lover of music and debasing emotions, uses as the foundation for its own theme as that of "Deep River."
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the great Anglo-African, whose musical compositions have placed his name and fame in the world of the immortals, was struck by the wondrous beauty of the "River" theme and made it the base of one of his most striking transcriptions for the pianoforte. New York's own Harry T. Thorne, ranking among the great composers of modern times, and an important editorship with the big music publishing firm of G. Riordi & Co., has used the same theme in a vocal transcription of beauty and pathos, and the same theme has been recorded for the violin by no less an artist than the late Ned Wallell, who was characterized as "the greatest of all women."
Another indication of its appeal to the artistic sense and application is found in the fact that the operatic soprano, Frances Willett of Culloh Gatti-Casazza, impresario of the Metropolitan Opera, New York, has made it one of the most frequently used her repertoire, using the Coleridge-Taylor arrange-

Just a few days ago Mrs. Jessie Andrews Zackery, soprano,

After hearing Burleigh's "Deep River," the Fox management will no more to have the syncopated version, but to the singer, requested her with sincerity and earnestness to use the through number instead. And she is doing so. Last week, we and next week the audiences in the Fox Theatres have will have the unusual experience of hearing this colored "Deep River," a Negro Spiritual, and they have shown and heartiest appreciation of its beauty and pathos. We are primitive and crude folk work songs, play songs, love dance melodies in such ample quantities that Negro can well find scope for fullest expression of their desire the race music into modern forms, even into jazz, with to transgress upon the outpourings of the racial heart wring and torn with sorrow and distress.

The ordinary vulnerable fan, listening to their act, would be amazed at the amount of technical development and musical knowledge necessary to its perfecting. But both Mr. and Mrs. Spiller are sincere students of music and they have long since acquired a breadth and depth of musical development that entitles them to rank among the best musicians of the race. Their studio is an interesting place. The sturious instruments used in their act, the several xylophones occupying considerable space, are not, however, the most conspicuous. A concert grand piano is the instrument of honor, and this instrument is used by both musicians with expert ability. Wind instruments of all descriptions occupy available space in the room, even underneath the pianoforte.

They are GOOD!
ROBERT RUSSA MOTON
"JUST A BLACK MAN."
We should praise a fine quality in the Devil. And that is no apology for praising one of the many fine qualities in Robert Rusa Moton, for he has no resemblance whatever to the Devil. But he is a good example of the man whose perfine qualities are likely to be sometimes discredited simply, because somebody disagrees with him about something else. All men who attain any position above the ordinary suffer this disadvantage in some degree. We like to talk about people when we can say fine things about them. We hate to talk about them when we can't. We could talk much about Dr Moton, for we know him well and esteem his fine qualities. One of the best of these is what we might call his GROUP CO-CONSCIOUSNESS. He feels that he is one of the people whom he calls "my people". He is desirous that whatever good is in him may be placed in the credit side of his people's account.
This is ill stated by his recent experience in the streets of New York City. He renched out his strong black arm and saved a white woman from the danger of being run over by a taxicab. That is nothing strange for a black arm to do. Black arms always come to the rescue, regardless of the color of the party needing help. But according to the New York World, when this rescuing black man was asked for his name, by an or servant policeman, who wanted to report the deed with due credit, the colored hero replied merely, without giving his name: "Just say a Black Man did it."—And the capitals are ours, not the World's. For there must have been a capital feeling in the heart of Moton Modest as he is, he could not overlook the interesting elements of this situation. "Yes, "a black man did it." If it had been a crime, it would not have been necessary to request them to say that it was a "black man."
We have met a number of colored people who seemed to think it desirable to be "the only Negro,"—the "first (and probably the last) colored person to do so-and-so," the "exception," or the "altho-the-is-colored." Mr. But R. R. Moton is just a black man and we like him for it. And we recommend that we substitute for the only Negro "just a black man." And Moton is right, for that act of rescue is just-like-a-black-man. That is the way black men act. The opposite action is the "exception." We only wish that black women were equally as likely to meet help, courtesy and protection from the average white man. New York City WM. PICKENS

Not content with what they have acquired already both these people are daily studying and practicing and working out theory and technique and harpming lessons for the attainment of further perfection. Not content with acquiring for themselves they pass on their knowledge and skill to the members of the group associated with them, and these younger aspirants in time, and with the perfection of skill and experience pass on to achieve for themselves individually making room for other types in the field of musical achievement. It is an endless chain of accomplishments with Mr. and Mrs. Spiller unselfishly giving of their best for the development and spread of artistic knowledge and technical proficiency.
N. C. MEDICOS HOLD
ANNUAL SESSION
Wilmington, N. C.-The thirty-third annual session of the North Carolina Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association met at Wilmington, N. C., June 20-23 inclusive, and rendered an excellent program which proved of benefit and profit to all present.
The sessions were held in the Saint Stephen A. M. F. Church, of which the Rev. Dr. Maist is pastor.
The papers read before the organization were interesting and instructive. The best ones were as follows: "Uterine Curreture—Discourses in—Indications For" by Dr. L. E. McCanley of Raleigh; "The Endocrine" by Dr. E. E. Temey of Oxford; "An Important Diagnosis Aid in Syphilis, by Dr. M. R. Dubissette Wilhelm" to Tehran With the History of the Case" by Dr. J. A. Battle of Greenville, N. C.; "Lunatic Popliteal Aneurism with Report of Case" Dr. J. N. Mill, Durham.

POLICE BRUTALITY SUBJECT CRITICISM
to severe censure of the police. The argument is advanced that even though Dent tried to snatch the officer's gun from its holster, it does not seem reasonable to believe that he could only be subdued at hands of several officers by being beat to death. It is reported that there were some four or five detectives in the station house at the time and that all of them joined in what was virtually the lynching of the prisoner Dent.
After a man is taken in custody by officers of the law he is absolutely under control of the law. Even if he becomes obstreperous or unruly, it is only necessary to exert such force as is sufficient to subdue him. And it is difficult to convince any saneminded man that three, four or five officers had to kill Dent before he could be controlled.
And another fact is stated in this connection. The holsters in which police officers carry their revolvers are supposed to be fitted with safety catches that prevent the removal of the gun until that catch has been released, and the release spring is supposed to work only when pressed in a certain manner. How then, say many people, could Dent have gotten Detective Redding's gun from the holster before the officer knew anything of it?
It is said that following the visit of the delegation of Harlemites referred to, Commissioner Enright sent for various of the responsible police officers and told them to have these brutalities stopped. It is reported that officers of the uniformed divisions declared that the responsibility lay with the head of the plain clothes division, one of the prominent ranking officers declaring unequivocably that he did not countenance brutality in his precinct.
Persons who looked upon the body of Dent after his death declared that it bore signs of having been subjected to the most severe and ruthless handling. According to these eyewitnesses, there was a hole in the left side of the forehead, similar in appearance to that made by a bullet, and the face and body were literally covered with scars.
And notwithstanding the published reports that Dent died after being removed to the hospital, it is alleged by neighborhood residents, who claim to have been eyewitnesses, that it was Dent's dead body that was taken from the station house, and it is believed that the man was killed in the building and did not die afterwards, as stated.
In this connection, it is the subject of rumor that other bodies have been taken from the same precinct building under circumstances which savored of secrecy and gave rise to suspicion that police brutality had claimed other victims to which no publicity was given. Men guilty of such actions ought to be summarily removed from the force.
Would it not be advisable that Precinct commanders and inspectors make a rigid investigation of these alleged conditions and ferret out the men who are responsible? There should be a cleanup which would serve to place the burden of guilt where it belongs.

Lincoln University Alumni Raising $50,000 for School
$11, 282 Paid in Cash—Memorial Arch at Main Entrance Erected by Alumni in 1921 is Great Attraction—Dr. Cannon's Statement
(Special to The New York Age) / Jersey City, N. J.-Dr. George E. Cannon, president of the Alumni Association of Lincoln University, has issued the following statement:
"When Lincoln University put on its campaign for $50,000 for Extension Work, the Alumni voluntarily assumed $50,000 as its quota. The slogan adopted was "Give back Lincoln at least one year's tuition." This amounted to $125 in years past. What ever the alumnus pledged, could be divided into five years' payments so desired. The pledged already made range all the way from $5 to $500, there being one pledge of $1,000.
"In addition to the above, the Alumni some years ago, erected a fine bronze table in the chapel, in honor of the much beloved former president, the late Dr. Isaac N. Rendall. The Alumni also set aside a $2,500 endowment to be known as the Isaac N. Rendall Scholarship.
"The Alumni officials feel quite confident that the full quota of $50,000 will be realized. Many of the prosperous Alumni have pledged $500, forming what has become to be known as the "Five Hundred Dollar Club," and all who are able are asked to join this club; but the small amounts given in accordance to means, are highly
"The total pledges to date amount to about $35,000. Of this amount, $11,282 had been paid in up to June 10, with a large number of 1922 pledges still to come in. A part of this money will go to help build the new Science Hall, on which work will begin in the near future, and an appeal has been sent out by the officers of the Alumni Association, calling on all who have not done so, to send in their 1922 pledge at once.
"In 1921, the Alumni erected a handsome arch over the main entrance to the college grounds, and dedicated it to "The Lincoln men who served their country in the World War." This arch has proved one of the great attractions along the Monumentau Highway, which is the main motor route between New York and Washington.

THE REGINAL L.
THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS
Last Tribute to the Late Jesse A. Shipp, Jr., Sunday
Funeral Largely Attended by Citizens of All Classes, Who United in Paying Unusual Honor to Popular Young Harlemite
The remarkable tribute paid by Harlem to the memory of the late Jesse A. Shipp, Jr., who died June 27, was unique in many respects. Friends who tended the capacity of Mother A. M. Zion Church in 136th street, and the hundreds who lined the streets along the line of march of the funeral cortege, were not honoring one who achievement had gained great high position, of state. It was for an outstanding personality that had made itself clearly beloved in the community that this unusual demonstration was made.
The church edine was not filled, as is often the case, with morbid curiosity seekers, but by those who truly mounted the loss of a citizen held in popular esteem. Eulogies were uttered in all sincerity, sacred songs feeling rendered while strong men wept without trace of embarrassment. It is not recalled when there ever was such a profusion of floral pieces at a funeral in Harlem. The altar was banked with owers, while the casket was covered with a blanket of roses from The Association of which the deceased was organizer. Honorary pall bearers, members of The Association and representatives of theatrical organizers, met at 2825 North Street and matched to the undertaking establishment of Granville O. Paris, 151 West 131st street, where the remains lay in state from Friday. Preceded by a guard of honor from the 15th Infantry, the marchers accompanied the body to Seventh avenue down 135th street to Lenox avenue, up 136th street to the church. The last sites, which were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Brown, were begun at 1.30.
After prayer a selection was sung by Mother A. M. E. Zion Chair. The obituary was read by the Rev. Dr. Brown, which was followed by the selection, "Calvary," rendered by Arthur H. Payne. In his cemetery the Rev. Dr. Brown spoke of the elements of leadership possessed by this former new-boy, who wielded a constructive influence over the young men of Harlem and who was a big favorite among young and old, white and colored due to his willingness to render service at all times.
"The way of the Cross" was sung by Andrew J. Cepelman, then the committal by the Rev. Dr. Brown. William C. Elking next rendered "Farewell." Resolutions from The Association were read by Lawrence Berry, an old claim of the deceased who filled with emotion, found it difficult to read.
The right Quintert, composed of Clarence Tisdale, James William Dequen, James Mancell Thomas, James E. Lightfoot and Leonard Smith, closed the services by singing "Bear Old Pal." During services, a silent tribute was paid the deceased by members of The Association, who alternated standing at the head and foot of the casket.
Eddie Brown organized as material and was assisted by Capt. Otto Stradman of the 11th Infantry.
The active patrollers were Fred Richardson, "Chunk" Walkins, William Martin, Benjamin Wright, Bake Thomas, Andrew Bishop, Charles Mock and Clarence Hutchinson.
The honorary pallacanere were Capt. Napoleon D. Marshall, F. H. L. Guarda, former President of the Board of Aldermen; Will H. Vaughn, D. Louis T. Wright, Lester A. Walton, George W. Harris, Charles W. Anderson, Lloyd G Gibbs, Fred R. Moore John B. Nail, James Garrett M. Matherey, Jack Givens, James W. Johnson, Robert Lattimore, "Mussy" Anderson, Charles Thurpe, Walter J. Jackson, Col Charles W. Fillimore and W. H. Wills.
The ushers were Frederick Cummings, Lloyd Ivy, H Reed, I. Ferguson, H. Johnson and C. Williams. The funeral arrangements were in charge of William C. Elkens.
Among those sending floral pieces were members of the 17th Infantry The Frogs, Clet Club, Monarch Pool Parlor, Miller & Lyles, Sissie & Blake and members of Shuffle Along Company, Creamer and Layton and members of Strut Mus. Lazer Company, Horseshoe Belle Mus. Lazer Pool and on the Corner "D.R. Right Quintet, Henry Wilson, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the widow, Lafayette Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Barrington Carter, Willie Martin Freeman, Miss Artie McGinty and Robert Williams. The remains were entered in Wood-lawn Cemetery.

POOR BOUTS AT ARMORY.
The weekly losing show at the 10th
army, held Friday night, June 29,
proved to be the worst in several months.
Both of the principal bouts lasted
for three rounds, and were the most
encountered contests imaginable. In the
main bout of tenteen rounds, the poor
match was not the fault of the management
for Danny Edwards' opponent
was six pounds overweight, and a man
had to be substituted in his place on
short notice. The substitute was Franke
Roman, who was promptly beaten
by Edwards and knocked out in the first
minute of the second round.
In the seminal contest, the mouthmaker was to Name for matching Kid
Buller and Kid Brooks. Buller is one of the best colored leatherweights in
New York, while his opponent, at best,
is only a tour round fighter. In their
tour on Friday night, however, it
required only a few blows of knuckle hum
out, as his high fighter did not just a round.
Dan Stewart and Carl Moore, both of the 30th, fought the best night of the evening in one of the four round preliminaries. These two have met several times, and each time the night has been declared a draw. If they were matched for ten or twelve rounds, the question as to who the better man is would be settled. Moore seemed to have won a tight favorite on Friday night, but in a longer night the odds would likely be in Stewart's favor. Both fighters weighed 135 pounds.
In the other preliminary Joe Hall knocked out Joe Dixon in the second round of their scheduled four round bout. Hall weighed 129 pounds and his opponent 110.
The beats were referred to Billy Riche and Danny Barley.
BACHARACHS WIN DOUBLE HEADER.
It might have been a surprise to the fans, but the Bacharach Giants proved it could be done, when they defeated Edward Bolden's Hildale team of Philadelphia in a twin-bill Sunday, July 2, at New York Oval by the score of 4 to 2 and 4 to 3. Both games were tightly contested and met the approval of the large crowd.
Redding hurled against Flournoy in the first, and it was a real pitcher's battle right up until the last man was out.
The last game furnished as many thrills as the first, Gillespie and Winter's being the principal Guarders. The former lasted longer than his opponent Winners, who was yanked out in the eighth inning, after passing two batters. Treadwell, who came to his rescue, and Duncan's timely single, batting for Jackson in the eighth, scoring Brown, were the real heroes of the day.
Lincoln Giants Divide Double Header
The Lincoln Giants apply a double header with the Hudson wick before a record crowd at Dexter Park on Sunday, July 2, winning the first game 11-5, and loosing the other by a score of 3-4. The feature of the first game was the sweaty hitting, with Jos Williams batting for Bedford, getting a home-run for the colored team. Two pitchers were used by each side in this game. Tom Williams, and Bradford, wore the batters for the local team.
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1922.
Former Head of Lincoln House, West 63rd Street.
BYRDIE H. HAYNES,
SOCIAL WORKER, DEAD
Miss Byrdie Henrietta Haynes, a social worker, who for the past ten years was associated with Miss Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago, and Miss Lillian Wald of Henry Street Settlement, New York City, died on Friday morning, June 30, in a local hospital following an operation performed three weeks ago.
The funeral services were held on Sunday from the Williams Memorial C. M. E. Church, the Rev. W. Y. Bell pastor. The Grace Congregational Church choir sang "Hark, Hark, My Soul" as the funeral procession moved into the church. The Rev. J. D. Bushnell, pastor of Walker Memorial Church, read from the fourteenth chapter of St. John and offered prayer. A Fisk University quartet, composed of Fred Work, Charles McDowell, Dr. E. R. Alexander and Dr. M. Y. Bourtey, sang "We Shall Walk Through The Valley in Peace." Communications from various organizations of which the deceased was connected were received, and ecologies were given by Miss Welle Davis, president of the Fisk University Club of Greater New York, of which the deceased was the treasurer; Miss Lillian Wald, head of the Henry Street Settlement; Cecil Bourne of Columbus Hill and the Lincoln House; the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Auxissian Baptist Church; Mrs. C. C Saunders, executive secretary of the local Y. W. C. A. and Miss Elizabeth Walton, representing the Urban League.
Mrs. Saunders read the obituary byrdie Hendrietta Haynes was born November 21, 1890, at Pine Bluff, Ark. She attended a mission day school at this place and later a grammar school at Hot Springs, Ark. When the family moved, she entered a girls home at Nashville, Tenn., and took the last two years of her grammar school work in the preparatory department of Fisk University. She completed the academic course at Fisk in three years, and took the full college course, graduating with the degree of B.A. in 1909. She taught two years in the high school at Coppicane, Texas, and while there began her interest in work among the girls and women of the city. She was awarded a fellowship offered by Julius Rosenwald in the Chicago School of Arts and Philanthropy. On completion of this course, she took the work as head resident of Washoe Valley Settlement in the Negro district of Chicago settlement house affiliated with the Hull House. Here she worked for three years under the supervision of Miss Jane Addams and Miss P. Brockinridge. The success of her work here came to the attention of Miss Lilian D. Wald and the management of the Henry Street Settlement of this city and she was called to be head resident at Lincoln House, a branch in Henry Street Settlement, located at West side street, New York City.
During six and a half years, she built up the work there until it became known all over this and other cities. Last May she was called to the 173rd Street Branch W. W. C. A., as secretary of girls' work. She was to begin three new duties on September 1, after a summer's rest and medical attention so as to be in full vigor in the rant. It was with this hope that she went to Flower Hospital for an operation. The operation was successful, but with day or two of leaving the hospital, heart came suddenly and she went to sleep. She manifested a devout spirit as a Christian at the age of ten, joining the Baptist church with her mother in her home town. Later at Fisk she joined the Union Church, and last May she transferred her membership from there to the Grace Congregational Church, this city.
The Rev. H. H. Proctor read the twenty-third Psalm, and the Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of Grace Congregational Church, preached the funeral sermon. The Community Council of Columbus Hall comprising fifty men and women from the Columbus-Hill District, sang "Steal away to Jesus" Dr. Proctor committed the body for burial, and several hundred people filed for a last view. With the recessional, the body passed out of the church and returned to the men's Funeral Parlor where the body was state until Monday morning, at which time interment was made in Woodlawn Cemetery.
Hundreds of people viewed the body in the parlors, and the floral pieces were beautiful and many. Pieces were from the Y. W. C. A. Stillman Mother's Club of Lincoln House. Community Council of Columbus, Mrs. C. Duncan. Fisk University Club, Mrs. Helen C. Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Florant. Grace Church Flower Club and C. F. Society. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Smith. Miss Lillian D. Wald and associates. T. and M. W. Ribber, the Mothers of the Walton Parents Club, Columbus Hill friends, Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Erdmann. Miss J. O. Jenkins, Social Workers' Club, Old Lincoln House Board, Mrs. William Humbo and family, the loaves of Columbus Hill, Mrs. Leah Robinson and family, and Miss Hattie C. Lewis.
The honorary pall bearers were J. Hebson, representing the Lincoln House, and H. L. Mays representing Grace Congregational Church. The pall bearers were Dr. J. Bowie, Dr. P. Cleaver, Dr. W. Willis N. Cummins, Dr. E. I. Lindsay, Robert E. and C. R. Hollins.
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Is Reported by Senate Com'ittee
not be able to do so until Monday, July 10. The fact that the committee acted on the bill was due in large measure to the insistence of Senator Lodge, Senate Republican leader.
In some quarters it was suggested that the recent riots at Herrin had an influence in the committee in favor of a report for the bill. This, however, is denied. In fact, the way for a report was pretty fully paved before the Herrin murders.
The bill provides that any state or municipal officer charged with the duty or possessing the authority to protect the life of any person that may be put to death by a mob who fails to make all reasonable efforts to prevent such a crime shall be guilty of a felony and punishable by imprisonment and fine not exceeding $5,000. Failure to make all reasonable efforts to apprehend or prosecute members of the mob is likewise punishable. If the officer conspires with others in the lynching he and the persons in the conspiracy are held by the bill guilty of felony and punishable by imprisonment for life or not less than five years.
The bill gives the district court of the judicial district where the lynching occurs jurisdiction in anti-lynching cases.

The Senate Judiciary Committee put in this amendment.
"Provided, that it shall be charged in the indictment that by reason of the failure, neglect or refusal of the officers of the state charged with the duty of prosecuting such offense under the laws of the state to proceed with due diligence to apprehend and prosecute such participants, the state has denied to its citizens the equal protection of the laws. It shall not be necessary that the jurisdictional allegations herein required shall be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and it shall be sufficient if such allegations are sustained by a preponderance of the evidence."
Section 5. of the bill provides that any county in which a person is put to death by a mob or riotous assemblage shall forfeit $10,000, which may be recovered in an action by the United States for the use of the family of the person put to death or his dependents, otherwise for the United States. The Senate committee put in this addition to the House language of this section:
"If it is alleged and proven that the officers of the state charged with the duty of prosecuting criminally such offence under the laws of the state have failed, neglected or refused to proceed with due diligence to apprehend and prosecute the participants in the mob or riotous assemblage."
The effect of this language is to make the forfeit conditional on proof that the local authorities did not use due diligence in their efforts to apprehend and prosecute the lynchers.

THE LINCOLN THEATRE
"Without Fear," the new William Fox picture in which Pearl White is appearing at the Lincoln Theatre, is the story of a battle between aristocracy and a newly-made millionaire—one of those millionaires that come up from nowhere overnight. The millionaire prays to be very much of a man, and he not only defies aristocracy, but takes away one of its most charming figures, a pretty girl. She goes willingly—mpre tain willingly, for she practically proposes to him. She is unconventional.
The story is entertaining, and to many it will be instructive. It illustrates the point that one man has as much chance in this country as another, provided he has brains and industry, backed by high character. Social snobbery can't keep a "mushroom millionaire" down, of his the right sort. "Without Fear" is first order entertainment, with abundant food for thought in it.

At the call of Jno L. Webb, supreme custodian of the Woodmen of Union, 150 representative Negro business men of the State met here on June 19 to reorganize the Arkansas State Business League to affiliate with the National Business League.

4-Days' Ministers' Conference Is Held at Hampton Institute
(By Wm. Anthoay Avery.)
Hampton, Va.—The ninth annual meeting of the Ministers Confidence of Hampton Institute, presided over by the Rev. M. E. Davis of Portsmouth, Va. brought together 203 colored ministers from fourteen denominations and down States.
The enrolment by denominations follows: Baptist, 121; African Methodist Episcopal, 29; Methodist Episcopal, 11; Presbyterian, 10; A. M. E. Zion, 8; Protestant Episcopal, Colored, 6; Church of Christ, Holiness, 5; Church of Christ, 2; Friend, Congregational, Reformed Zion Union Apostolic, and undenominational, 1 each.
"The Conference," according to the Rev Laurence Feminger, chaplain of Hampton Institute, who is the executive secretary, "was organised to afford an opportunity to ministers of all denominations to meet for a few days of study and discussion of the great common problems which they are facing in their work. The annual meeting are held in conjunction with the Hampton Institute Summer School for Teachers in order that a spirit of closer cooperation may be brought about between ministers and teachers."
The Rev. E. H. Hamilton, pastor of B. Cyprian's Protestant Episcopal Church, Hangart, Va., preached the annual sermon on "Winning Communities for Christ" and made a vigorous plea that men and women should have vision, character, spiritual food, unity and love. He emphasized the importance of teaching old and young alike the skills of leadership, which is the school of character as well as a sanctuary, and the importance of all religious and social life. He showed how five tasks could be performed by those who become fellow-workers with God.
---
Instruction and Inspiration
The conference lecturers brought to the members of the conference the fruits of long scholastic and ministerial training. The attendance at the lectures was uniformly good throughout the four days. H. J. Pines, pastor of St. James, A.M. E. Church of Pittsburgh, four addresses on "The Church and the Social Problem" in which he issued the call to more complete, intelligent, and sacrificial service in spreading the Kingdom of God. H. J. Cadbury, professor of New Testament and secretary, of Andover Theological Seminary, Cambridge, Mass., spoke four times on "The Book of Acts." He gave the essential facts concerning the historical background, in its presentation of facts from the Church the career of St. Paul, and its claim and value.
Re. Fred Eastman of New York, educational secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, gave a series of four helpful and stimulating talks on The Country Minister. He described the internal struggle of the shepherd of the church over the best message and the best methods of bringing men, women, and children to know their God and His will.
Dr. B. F. McWilliams, pastor of the Third Baptist Church of Toledo, Ohio, presented four lectures on The Church and Its Problems. He gave many talks on the improvement of church efficiency, survey programs, program-making, and stewardship.
Franklin O. Nichols of New York, associate director of the department of field organization of the American Society Hygiene Association, spoke three times on the relation of the minister to problems of public health, especially social hygiene. He pictured the memorial service and quilt method of fighting this nationwide evil through the use of the churches, homes, and all other educational institutions.
African Discovery
Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlestonville, Va., director of William and Mary College, as well as president of the leaves and Shatter Board, spoke in Oxford Hall before the ministers and patrons on "The Meaning of Progress." Dr. Dillard referred to the discoveries which investigators have been making throughout the continent of Africa. He noted that investigators have reached the conclusion that there were more different kinds of people on the continent of Africa and that they differed more widely in language, in arts, and in content than the peoples of Europe. He noted that investigators distinguished the African had achieved a development far greater than had been generally imputed.
dr. Dillard quoted Clive Belf's statement in "Since Czeanne," published by Harper and Bruce, New York, that Negro art according to judgment from available data, was entitled to a place where it could be included, ways of "doing what schools include." On the whole, Negro art is placed West and Center African art at any rate on a level with the Egyptian. Such sleeping classifications, however, must be taken too seriously. All want to say is that, though the capital achievements of the greatest schools do come to be superior over the Negro, they are not original in artistic willfulness it is entitled to a place besides.
Do Dellard made an earnest plea that ministers and teachers alike would encourage actively in trying to make the world a better materially, intellectually and spiritually. He referred to the growth in religion, in the relations of men to men, and in the imposition of governments. "That civilization is below which does not include the government of all people," he said. "The 12th ideal is that every child be the world should have as good an opportunity for the development of life in him as any other child."
World Challenge to America.
By the Honor E. Hayes, secretary of
the Commission on the Church and
Relations of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, member
of the Challenge of Burying
to American Terrorism.
Asia and Africa: (1) Are the darker and less favored classes, peoples, and races to be taken into the fellowship of the brotherhood among men on an equal footing, one race and one people with another? (2) As they come in closer contact one with another, what is to be the method by which we shall settle or adjust the inevitable crossing of interest in agriculture and industry, in religion, in government and politics, and in life. Dr. Haynes endeavors for the method of cooperation and tolerance—"the give and take of people who act according to the Golden Rule." "The challenge which comes from India, Asia, and Africa," said Dr. Haynes, "is this: Can we work out in our local communities, between white people and Negro people, a demonstration that the teachings of Christ and our Christianity, are a religion of applied brotherhood of love and good-will, as we work together in the cotton and fields in the factories, on the railroads, on the roads, together on an island, and in the street together; we educate our children together; as we meet in courts and in market place?"
Dr. Haynes declared that there is a rising tide of conscience and that people are learning that as they apply the idea of brotherhood they live, grow and proper.

Dr. Ransom's Worth
Dr. R. C. Ransom, Sr., editor of A. M. E. Restaure, has said very little about the bishopric, but the church in general believes that his ability warrants recognition for episcopal honors. He is one of the strongest men in the connection and has always been loyal to his church.
Rev. S. L. Greene, president of Shoreer College, Little Rock, Ark. has proven himself to be an orator, writer and executive. He has served twenty consecutive years in the A. M. E.

Cole, preiding elder of Long Island district, is a graduate of Lincoln University, both college and seminary, and a member of the university's twenty-six consecutive years.

The present status is uncertain. The church however is demanding the very highest qualities of manhood for the honorable office of bishop, and anyone who is chosen must first pass the scrutiny of the commissioner. The A. M. E. Church has the material and the only problem today is the problem of intelligent selection. Jacksonville, Fla.
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
Mother Zion Church
The deluge of rain and darkness of Saturday, July 1, was followed by brilliant sunshine on Sunday, which rendered the day admirable for church attendance. Promptly at 10.45 the services were begun. The choir, under direction of Briscoe W. Payne, rendered excellent music; the preaching service was led by the II.10 clock sermon was prescheduled by Dr. Brown. The text was from Joshua 3:4, which reads: "For He had not passed this way herefore." The purpose of using the text, the speaker disclosed, was to indicate the beginning of the service of a new ecclesiastical year. He presented the Joshua as the successor of Moses, in the leadership of children, in the provision of the mission of Jehovah to Joshua in which He declared, "As I was his Moses, so will I be with thee."
In taking up the duties where Moses left off, Joshua found that new duties and new achievements lay before him and his people. In like manner he declared that in this beginning of the new conference year, which constitutes the hundred and twenty-ninth year of the existence in this city of Mother Zion Church, lie before us new and larger duties and far more achievements if the work of building the proposed new church is to be carried to completion. He pleaded for a vision on the part of the entire membership that would bring to fruition a commodious structure here to be used for man's service in glorifying his Creator. The sermon in its entirety was an effort on the part of the pastor to stimulate in his people the spirit of sacrificing service that will result in the carrying to successful completion the erection of the new church.
At the close of the sermon, Dr. J. E. K. Kitchen, Dr. J. K. Kitchen, those who were out of church to come forward and connect themselves with the church. Six persons were received.
At 2 o'clock, the Sunday-school hour Dr. Brown preached the funeral of Jesse A. Shippe, Jr. By reason of this, all departments of the Sunday-school association in state record the funeral hot weather is assigned as the reason for the falling off of the attendance.

First Emotional Church
Pastor Bolden's sermon on Sunday morning was a beautiful one, filling with inspiration those who heard it. The text was taken from Acts 1:8-9 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Jews, and in Samaria and unto the sintermost part of the earth: and when He had spoken these things while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." Theme: "The power of God in human society."
Pastor Bolden said, that this deposit of spiritual power came into the world of humanity through the Holy Spirit's deceit into the hearts and minds of the Apostles. If the successors to the Apostles teachings had practiced and demonstrated she truth of this power of love and good will, as earnestly as they gave verbal testimony in the his
Interesting Side-Lights on International S.-S. Council Only Colored Delegate From New York State Gives Bird's Eye View of Seminers-Uchers, Attempt of Segregation Meets Failure
BY JOHN G. LEE
Rochester, N. Y.—Joining the "Timothy-Stand By Party" in Buffalo on June 21, we were off at night for the great convention which was to unite the International Sunday-school Association and the Sunday-school Council of Evangelical Denominations, thereby for the first time a Sunday-school Council of Religious Education. Eight thousand delegates were anticipated, which anticipation was fullfilled. The prayer and song service on board the special train served to unite the friendships formed and to solidify the state delegation. We arrived early Wednesday morning, and visited the Middle West and went at once for registration. We found that thorough preparation had been made for the convention which was held in the spacious and conveniently arranged City Auditorium, with a seating capacity of 10,200. We went then presented with a copy of the greatest educational program ever put on by a Christian body, consisting of exhibits, leares, pagements and fine arts, furnished by the foremost experts
An Attempt at Segregation.
On approaching the main entrance with our first Negro acquaintances, we were impressed by the fact that all colored delegates were being directed to a certain section marked A. This group was out of place in a great Christian convention of this character and we sought the best means of ascertaining the mind of the Convention, and to successfully lodge a protest. Consequently on the second morning, having our counsel on the platform and on the executive committee by James W. Ehlchberger, of the A. M. E. Zion Church; Dr. A. M. Townsend of the Publishing Board of Baptist Sunday-schools, and Byrd Prillerman, president of the State Institute, president of the University, called a meeting of protest and delegated these men to present our resolution to the executive committee. This was done. And the assurance was given us that the executive committee knew nothing of this arrangement, did not approve the users' actions, admonished the users, and wherever we pleased. This rule obtained to the end.
The Negro delegates, though few in number, there being about seventy-five registered, were from Missouri. Kantical force in alleviating pain, sorrow, and misery in the human world, has not kept pace with the inventions scientific discoveries and progress of man. This sinful neglect has resulted in exploitation of the weakness and ignorance of one group of people by another, and this is causing strikes, wars, misery and ruin. Therefore, the call is for a closer walk with God, and a willing dispense of express. His spirit and people. Pastor Bolden took into full membership in the church Wm. Butler of 43 West 132nd street. Rev. Hogans assisted in the services. The Sunday-school had a large attendance, two new scholars joined. The lesson study was interesting. Super-intendent Hogans conducted a spiritual review of the lesson and catechism. Sunday-school and church were located Bay and Bayville, Thursday July 17.
At the meeting of the Bahai Association at 3:30 p.m., Mrs. Copeland presided. Addresses were made by Mrs. Ford, Mr. Gregory and others. Miss Lilian Hogans presented a pleasing program at the meeting of the Literary Society: Piano duet, Miss Williams and V. Light, restation, Cornelia Hogans; essay, "Service," Miss Ethel Hepler; solo, Master E. Williams; reading, Miss D. Small; vocal solo, Mrs. Julia Lights, reading, Mrs. Sarah Hogans. The acting president, Wm. Coleman presented Mrs. Sadde Lockett, who made a few remarks; closing prayer by Mrs. E. Anthony.
Pastor Bolden preached the annual sermon to the Masoric Lodge and invited guests at 3 p.m. in Englewood, New Jersey, at the A. M. E. Zion Church.
At the 8 o'clock service, the Rev. A. C. Garner, pastor of the Grace Congregational Church preached an able sermon from the subject, "Religion." Excellent music was rendered by the choir at both the morning and evening services. Dinner was served during the day by members of the choir.

sao. Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, Mississippi New York Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas and Iowa, and among them were ministers educators and doctors. Aside from his work, we found time for several group meetings and all were loud in their approval of the Convention program, since it had included so much of direct interest to the Negro in ideas of better training and truer brotherhood.
The atropionic views, showing the effects of mob violence, and winding up brings the thoughtful Negro and white students together in our colleges, made a lasting impression. The forceful address by John M. Gandy, president of the State Normal School, Peterburg, Va., on "Redemption A Race Through Its Children," brought joy to our hearts and through its enthusiastic reception by the Convention, a new ray of hope to us all. We presented him a resolution of aporecitation.
The necessity of efficient teachers of teacher training of daily Bible and vacation schools, with proper grading waft sufficiently emphasized.
When the report of the Committee on Resolutions had advanced to section two, on "Law Enforcement," we were told that the committee was on lynching. Our men were alert and J. W. Eichberger and John M. Gandy asked that the committee insert the words: "We are opposed to all forms of lynching," to which the convention agreed. We left the convention there was ringing in our ears the music of "Listen to the Lams," by our own R. Nathaniel Dett, which the large chorus had so beautifully rendered, and our thoughts and hearts went out to the good citizens of Kansas City for their fellowship and liberal entertainment.
Among the many to whom we are grateful for courtesies and kindnesses which none of us will ever forget, we recall the Revs. Dawson, Dawson, Isaacs, Bacote and Alfin; the sterling general secretary of the Baoque Y. M. C. G. A. Gregg, and his efficient corps of workers, which splendid institution, during two months of cold and hardship, allowed 750 men to sleep on its floors; Dr. J. E.

Or, on day evening, he was the prince among preachers in the person of the Rev. Dr. Bryant, pastor of the Wheat Street Baptist Church, Atlanta, Ga., who delivered a great sermon. Dr. Bryant is unquestionably an interesting preacher and a great sermon. At 11 a.m. Sunday morning, the choir under the direction of Prof. W. A. Calhoun, sang a number of suitable selections with the congregation leading up to the sermon, after which Pastor Sims delivered his message on Christian Ownership. A large crowd attended the sermon, and him received the message gladly. He hastened to Newark to preach to the Foreign Missionary Circle at the Bethesdaida Baptist Church of which
